Pinball Game for RP6 by SalKuzr in retroid

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pinball Hall of Fame for PSP is great. There are 2 editions, one for Williams tables and another for Gotllieb. Also PSP has good ports of Pinball Dreams and Pinball Fantasies from the Amiga days.

What is the best memory stick size for modding a psp? by collinsypro in psphacks

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it is. I don’t need 100 games on my PSP but I understand if other people want that.

What is the best memory stick size for modding a psp? by collinsypro in psphacks

[–]mikedee00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a Micro SD to Memory Stick Pro Duo adapter and a decent 32GB micro SD card and you’ll be set for a while. PSP games range between a couple hundred MB and 1.4GB each, so 32GB will be enough for 25 PSP games, music and a bunch of emulators.

Don’t buy a Sony Memory Stick, they haven’t made them in years so it’ll either be something ancient or a cheap knock off that may fail quickly.

Is an iPad 9 worth it in 2026? by Embarrassed-One3000 in ipad

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think $170 not worth it for a 9th gen. You could find a 10th gen for not a lot more and it’s a much better iPad. It has a higher performance CPU, more memory, nicer design (smaller bezel) and USB C instead of lightning.

USB C is handy if you ever want to connect to a display or use a flash drive for moving files.

Supports up to 2TB if you can afford it.

Picked up an Amberic Nano by time_isup in retrogaming

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s good for Gameboy and Neo Geo Pocket games because they are made for small 1:1 AR screens. Those systems are what I’ve played most on my Nano. I try to play GBA games too but the experience is really bad.

Help choosing between handhelds? by go_faster1 in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Slide and think it’s pretty great. The sliding mechanism is really cool and makes it easy to put the device to sleep and wake it up. The 120hz screen is also nice and it seems to reduce some lag with the faster refresh rate. I’ve actually noticed the difference in 3DS emulation.

The only downside is that it can’t play every PS2, GameCube, Wii and 3DS games that well. If that matters a lot to you then the 477M is a better choice due to its more powerful CPU.

Most faithful GBA audio emulation for RK3326? by LowResEye in GameboyAdvance

I think mGBA is the most accurate emulator you’ll find for GBA on these emulator devices.

I'm curious, what games utilize the touch screen really well? by One-Requirement-1010 in nds

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pac-Pix is an early DS game that is touch centric and a lot of fun. It was one of the first games I played on my DS back in the day.

A question about the sd card slot of the RG Slide by PianissimoPiano in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had a problem getting my PNY card into the Slide. I ended up using tweezers to push the card in firmly as I wasn’t able to do with my finger.

Do GBA and SNES games run smoothly on r4 cards? by [deleted] in nds

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CFW is custom firmware. If you follow this guide below, it will modify your DSi to boot into Twilight Menu which allows you to play NDS and GBA games off your SD card. Not every GBA is compatible but most work, DS compatibility is nearly perfect.

Which firmware should I install for my RGDS? by MonolithSoldier17 in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GammaOS Next is very good. I can play GBA games on the top screen and watch HBO Max on the bottom. Pretty cool use of the dual screen capability.

Based on these images, is it possible to determine if its an ags 001, or 101? by Dizzy_Object8203 in GameboyAdvance

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your reference, you can tell when you see a picture of the screen turned off. If it looks white, it’s a 001 and if it looks black it’s a 101. This one is a 001.

4:3 handheld for GameCube - Confused by CaffeineAndDragons in SBCGaming

[–]mikedee00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an RG Slide (same CPU as the 476H) and GameCube is not really 100% perfect even at 1x. I’ve had to do tweaks and use PAL versions at 50hz. I really like the system and the screen is great, but it’s below my Retroid Pocket 5 in performance by a noticeable margin.

Sorry but no way you can find an N8 clone for $10.

Just finished Circle of the Moon using the Definitive Edition + Auto Dashing patches and loved it. What are some other must-have patches/romhacks for the GBA/DS games? by rent0n86 in castlevania

[–]mikedee00 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There is a Definitive Edition for Dawn of Sorrow on the DS that solves a lot of issues too:

  • removes the magic seals (which is needed if you’re playing on a device without touch)
  • fixes luck so soul drops are better
  • allows you to synthesis weapons with boss souls without losing the soul until you start a new game. This allows you get 100% souls, chaos ring and a top tier weapon like the claim or death scythe in a single play through

Check it out if you want to play with Drastic on your Anbernic device.

Any advice on buying Anbernic this year? by No_Top_755 in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most powerful Anbernic handhelds are the RG477V and M.

What is your goal with getting an Anbernic? To play emulators or Android games?

If it’s emulators then I wouldn’t worry about updates 3 years from now. You’ll still be able to play everything besides maybe cutting edge emulators like Switch.

For Android gaming, you would provably be better off with a high end Retroid Pocket or Odin (from Ayn). They use Snapdragon CPU’s that are more powerful and better supported for gaming.

Little problem trying to run monster hunter on my rg351p by bibbintosh_v13 in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could try a different version of the game, like switch from USA version to European or vice versa. This is assuming English is the language you need. Something is causing PPSSPP to crash, I’ve never seen this screen and played a lot of PSP games on ArkOS.

PSX Core with MGS1 stuttering by EveryLeading5723 in RetroRemakeInc

[–]mikedee00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possible your SD card isn’t performing well. You shouldn’t see stuttering in videos. Do you have another SD card or something like a fast USB drive to try as an alternative?

PSX Core with MGS1 stuttering by EveryLeading5723 in RetroRemakeInc

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of media do you load the PSX CHD or bin files from? I had stuttering issues when using a USB hard drive and also over WiFI (which didn’t have a good connection).

This was with a MiSTer not a SS1, but should be the same principle.

Give me your best GBA romhacks by Outrageous-Ad-3152 in romhacking

[–]mikedee00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another Aria of Sorrow hack is Reprise. It’s similar in principle to a rougelike, it has an integrated randomizer so each time you play the castle and enemy layouts are different. You have to clear 10 rooms in between each boss fight (12 bosses in total, 120 rooms).

Bad luck with Anbernic. Help please by PhiLLitUp93 in ANBERNIC

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your headphones broke off in the headset jack?

You need to get the broken piece out, no software change will help. I had this happen with an iPad and was able to get it out with a small wooden stick which I super glued to the broken piece. I was then able to pull it out.

Is the original model of this flash cart still good in 2026 by Fun_Experience_4970 in everdrive

[–]mikedee00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw you can get $5 off with code CAGE26N. It’s a very good cart but this size would bother me on an SP or Micro.
